Next mayor to be from party with maximum seats, says Raosaheb Danve

With the suspense over the fate of a pre-poll alliance with the Shiv Sena, state BJP president Raosaheb Danve said on Friday that the next mayor of Mumbai will be from the party that “wins the maximum number of seats”.
Danve’s statement assumes significance amid reports that the Sena, the junior partner in the Fadnavis-led state government, is not keen on ceding its prime position in India’s richest civic body to “big brother” BJP.
“Our true rival is the Congress-NCP. However, once war begins, we will demolish anyone who comes in the way,” Danve said, without naming the Sena, which has been ruling the BMC for the last 20 years, with BJP as its junior partner.
“We want to have an alliance with the Sena. The mayor will be from the party which gets the maximum seats,” Danve said.
“We want to have a tie-up with the Sena. However, some workers feel otherwise, based on the issue of transparent administration,” he added.
“From the days of Bal Thackeray and Pramod Mahajan, the formula was that the party with the highest seats got to have its mayor. However, our strength has increased and attention will have to be paid to this factor also,” Danve said, adding, “The BJP has emerged as the big brother in Maharashtra politics.”
